Funimation Reveals ‘Listeners’ Anime Dub Cast

The Listeners anime got underway back on April 4th, 2020 as part of the spring season with Funimation having picked it up for simulcast and a simuldub. While there are no start dates yet for the simuldub side thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, work is afoot on setting up who will be in it. Funimation has revealed that the dub will be directed by Cris George based on the scripts by Jarrod Greene. The English cast includes:

The project has Hiroaki Ando directing it based on the scripts overseen by Dai Sato. Shinpei Kamada is adapting the character designs with MAPPA handling the animation production. The project came together under the auspices of JIN and Dai Sato along with Taichi Hashimoto.

Plot Concept: The “great adolescent symphony” is set in a world where nothing called “music” exists. A boy meets Myū, a mysterious girl with an empty audio input jack on her body. When she is plugged into an amp, something that will change the world is set in motion …. “Thus begins a journey of sound that will never be forgotten.”

Chris has been writing about anime, manga, movies and comics for well on twenty years now. He began AnimeOnDVD.com back in 1998 and has covered nearly every anime release that’s come out in the US ever since.
